Friday Favorites: Finally Home

Happy Friday! Our first freeze of the season came to Texas this week so it has been a fun week of pulling out winter clothes and bundling up. On to my Friday favorites this week:


/ / One:
My hubby is finally coming home today! Well…technically tomorrow since he lands at past midnight…but who’s counting? This could fill up my entire list of favorites, but I will refrain. It has been a long two weeks without him, and I am trying not to think about the fact that he is leaving again on Thursday. Is interview season over yet? :)
/ / Two:
I have finally gotten my act together and started reading again. I think I will be able to complete my challenge of 50 books again this year. Reading suggestions are always welcome.
/ / Three:
Mom and I went shoe shopping at Macy’s last weekend, and I found the cutest pair of ankle boots. I am a little hesitant because they aren’t leather (I usually prefer leather), but they are water resistant, warm, and I love the quilted pattern. What do y’all think? Buy or don’t buy? Do you like the brown ones or the black ones better?

/ / Four: 
I am so excited to start shopping for holiday party dresses. I'm currently eying this Loft dress. Any excuse to buy a new dress is great in my book!
/ / Five:
I have been feeling so thankful lately. Thankful for my hubby, my family, my friends, my job, and my sweet dog. I love the holiday season because it forces me to step back and remember what is important in life.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! 

Linking up with LaurenAmandaKarli, and Amy.

  3. Woo hoo for having your husband back!! So I'm with you and prefer leather, but if they are water resistant than they might be worth it! Depends on what color you tend to gravitate more towards...I wear more brown stuff...so the brown would work for me! Have a great weekend Olya!!

  5. Yay for hubby coming home! Two weeks is such a long time, isn't it? My boyfriend and I usually have one week a year when he's at Burning Man where we aren't even able to connect via phone or text. It's always such a relief when he finally makes it home safely :)

  8. Oooh I love that dress, especially the color! Everyone usually does reds for the holiday, but I like the dark green much more. I'm not sure if you've read it yet (are you on Goodreads?), but I just finished Arranged by Catherine McKenzie which was good for a light read and I'm currently reading Big Little Lies which so far I'm really enjoying. Yay for husband being home! Happy weekend!
